Jerome Jemison was 46 when he was killed on August 11, 2016. He was fatally shot in the back of the head on the third-floor landing of an apartment building at 868 Faile Street in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the Bronx. The shooting happened in the middle of the day and is described as the resolution of a dispute over a drug debt.

The building where Jemison was killed had long been linked to a crack cocaine and heroin distribution ring allegedly controlled by Bruce Morris, known by the street name G. Morris reportedly used threats and violence to maintain control of the operation, including threatening the building’s superintendent with a firearm.

If anyone knew Jerome, witnessed activity at 868 Faile Street in 2016, or has information about the drug operation or the shooting, please come forward.
